Any pregnant mamas out there experience the same thing as me? Circulation Issues/Lower BP/Dizzy Spells

Question

I’m almost 21 weeks pregnant. Last week, I started experiencing numbness in my hands and feet primarily when laying down. My doctor said it was a circulation thing from the positions I’ve been laying in and/or carpool tunnel. My blood pressure was 116/64 which is significantly lower than my usual 122/80. It’s never been like that. But they said it was normal. 
Today, I took a shower like normal and then had my hair up in a towel for about fifteen min. Not sure if I got overheated or if it was the shower, but I started shaking really bad and sweating. And I have been feeling weak and have had a headache ever since. I learned today though that you’re not really suppose to take a hot shower. 
I’m overly paranoid. Has anyone experienced this? Is it just a normal thing?

Answer

Could have become anemic from pregnancy ?

Answer

My bp as per today is 98/58, it is already better than before, I am also 20w3d.. low blood pressure can lead to dizziness especially if you get up too fast, too hot and too long showers.. 
I know when to stop and sit on the floor before fainting, you can feel cold, shaky, sweaty, loss of sight, like seeing black or white.. 
If that the case sit on the floor, lay down if you could and bend your legs.. take Gatorade or water with sugar.. 
I am trying to do some more activity for blood circulation.. like walking and stretching.. just do it calmly and stop when you feel strange..

Answer

Blood pressure is supposed to be lower than usual during pregnancy. It’s a good thing. For the circulation and dizziness I would try compression socks. But also yes ask about anemia.
